2.3 Safety instructions
WARNING!
Risk of injury from incorrectly executed work on the SmartSupply!
The faultless function of the SmartSupply ultimately depends on the
unchanged state of the SmartSupply. Independent modifications and
repairs or the use of third-party components could lead to damage and a
loss of functionality as well as serious injuries during use. Improper
repairs invalidate the guarantee and the manufacturer’s responsibility for
any consequential damage.
– Have the SmartSupply replaced by qualified electricians without
exception.
– Always use original components.
WARNING!
Injuries and material damage from incorrect installation!
Incorrectly laid cable connections between the power source (for variant
CAB) and the SmartSupply could be damaged by mechanical influences
such as tension, friction or becoming jammed. Defective cables could
cause short circuits and electronic malfunctions, system failures or cable
fires. Cable fires could result in serious injuries due to fires.
– Have the electrical connection and cable connections carried out by an
electrician without exception.
– Protect the cable connections from damage.
– Adhere to the prescribed maintenance intervals.

WARNING!
Risk of explosion and fire as a result of damage to the lithium-con-
taining battery!
The faultless function of the SmartSupply in variant BAT ultimately
depends on the intact state of the SmartSupply battery. Independent
modifications and repairs as well as damage or opening the battery
casing could cause the battery to ignite suddenly and result in serious
injuries.
– Never use defective, damaged, deformed or swollen batteries.
– Always replace the SmartSupply battery with caution and pay atten-
tion to the integrity of the battery.
– Do not use pointed tools to deal with the battery if it is jamming and do
not use force to beat out the battery.
– Always use the original charger and ensure faultless function prior to
use.
– Mask the terminals of the lithium-ion battery during transport and do
not transport it with other metallic objects in order to prevent short cir-
cuits.
– Do not charge lithium-ion batteries outdoors, or in humid rooms or in
places where very high temperatures are to be expected.
nThe endangerment of persons and the danger of material damage due to a malfunc-
tion or failure of the SmartSupply must be ruled out by means of additional safety
measures.
nThe SmartSupply in variant CAB must be secured against overvoltage and overcur-
rent on the vehicle side.
